Microsurgery manifested good results for facial nerve function on 100% of small tumors, 40% of medium and 22.22% of large tumors. Functional hearing results were also evaluated with respect of the sizes of tumors. Complications of the surgery consisted mainly of cerebrospinal fluid leakage (2.12% of all patients).
